Veteran actor Gabriel Olds charged with alleged sexual assault of 3 women: DA

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón has charged actor Gabriel Olds with allegedly sexually assaulting three women whom he dated in the Los Angeles area between 2013-2023, the office said Thursday.

Olds was charged with three counts of forcible rape; one count of rape of an unconscious or asleep person; one count of sodomy by use of force; one count of assault with intent to commit a felony; and one count of injuring a spouse, cohabitant, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend, or child's parent.

If convicted as charged, Olds faces a maximum sentence of life in prison, according to the DA's office.

The actor was arrested and booked on seven felony sexual assault charges on Wednesday, LAPD said earlier Wednesday. Olds' bail was set at $3.5 million.

Police are asking additional alleged victims of Olds or witnesses to the incidents to come forward.

On Jan. 19, 2023, a 41-year-old woman reported that Olds raped her in her home in LA, according to police. Two other adult victims later came forward and made similar reports dating back to 2013, describing consensual dating encounters that allegedly ended in violent sexual assault, police said.

Olds, a Yale University graduate, has worked as an actor and screenwriter dating back to the early 1990s, according to police. He has made many one-off guest appearances in popular shows like "Criminal Minds," "Heroes," "Boardwalk Empire" and "NCIS: Los Angeles."

His victims reported that he used his status as an Ivy League alumnus to meet women and arrange dates, police said. Several women in recent years have also reported meeting him on dating applications.

"The pain and suffering these victims have endured is beyond words and no one should ever experience such a betrayal of trust. Consent is never optional," Gascón said in a statement Thursday.

Gascón called the actor's actions "utterly inexcusable and a grave violation of these women's rights."

"We are steadfast in our commitment to prosecute this case and ensure that the offender is held fully accountable," he added.

Police said they have identified three women that Olds allegedly assaulted and two other women who reported lesser violent sexual conduct. Investigators believe there could be more victims nationwide due to Old's travels.

"We heard the same story again and again," LAPD detective Brent Hopkins said in a statement. "Mr. Olds started off charming, but then used brutal violence to carry out these rapes. Some of these survivors suffered in silence for years before finding the strength to speak up. Now that he's off the streets, we want to make sure everyone has a chance to be heard."

Olds is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 8.
